The placement of the word 'Nisar' on this coin is unique. Usually in Nisar's of Aurangzeb, the word is written as part of the second divider. Here it is placed next to the word 'Alamgir'. Nisar coins are named for their main purpose, i.e. scattering into the crowd by royalty. They were minted for occasions that demanded ceremonial generosity or largesse, like at investitures, weddings or grand entrances. These coins were particularly lightweight, and are usually fractions of rupees.
